Multiple vulnerability patches have been released for GPAC, impacting various Ubuntu LTS editions, essential for maintaining system integrity.
Several security issues were fixed in GPAC.

Summary

Several security issues were fixed in GPAC.

Software Description:

- gpac: GPAC Project on Advanced Content

Details:

It was discovered that the GPAC MP4Box utility incorrectly handled certain

AC3 files, which could lead to an out-of-bounds read. A remote attacker

could use this issue to cause MP4Box to crash, resulting in a denial of

service (system crash). This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2023-5520, CVE-2024-0322)

It was discovered that the GPAC MP4Box utility incorrectly handled certain

malformed text files. If a user or automated system using MP4Box were

tricked into opening a specially crafted RST file, an attacker could use

this issue to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary

code. (CVE-2024-0321)
